president obama might have a chicken little problem. fifth fiscal standoff since republicans took over in 2011. so would it be a surprise that they look at what's all of these events now and maybe they agree more with the president's way of thinking. maybe they believe house republicans are manufacturing this more than the white house is. but they sit there and they say, washington, they'll figure it out. they've done it each time. and then even when the sequester kicks in, they'll figure it out. it's the danger here on trying to use the public bully pulpit one more time on this crisis. moving on, politics behind achieving immigration reform have never been more promising than right now. still the more things change, the more they stay the same. the town halls that senator mccain held yesterday in feeng look like those town hauls five years ago. mccain opened by joking that he was prepared for anything that the crowd decided to throw at him. >> i'm so happy to be back with you. it's not fun trying to do the lord's work in the city of sa
